How Bad is Salt For YouTue, 23 Jan 2018 15:15:08 +0000http://www.philadelphiaspeaks.com/threads/how-bad-is-salt-for-you.42446/
http://www.philadelphiaspeaks.com/threads/how-bad-is-salt-for-you.42446/invalid@example.com (ecochuck)ecochucksalt. You can easily get all the sodium that you need from food. Salt is not food. But I have written an article that has new information from Michael Greger M.D. He has come out with over 100 5 minute videos about how plant-based food is better than you than animal food. So he says that 400,000 Americans die every year from hypertension. So what does he say causes all hypertension? Does he say it is from bacon and foods like it? He spends 5...

At my gym, I'm beginning to see this frequency but not sure if its the latest fashion trend.
I'm seeing more and more men now wearing these compression tights (ie. leggings) - in the past, I've seen men wearing them under gym shorts but now its full frontal tight leggings - no shorts (just like how women wear them).
Bulge, buttocks all tightly exposed.

Is this the latest trend?]]>4Sports medicine doctors who do in-office diagnostic ultrasound?Fri, 22 Dec 2017 07:32:10 +0000http://www.philadelphiaspeaks.com/threads/sports-medicine-doctors-who-do-in-office-diagnostic-ultrasound.44137/

I've been helping my friend find a dress for her daughter's wedding. Like me, she was an older mother and her daughter is 32 so she's now 67. She's even shorter than me- 4'9" and cannot find a dress that not too young or too matronly. In the midst of helping her, I find myself engaged, with a ring and everything. Now I need a dress as well. I'm 62.

So, anyone know a good place for us to shop? I don't want a...

I'm curious if people have the scoop on hotels or independent spas that offer the possibility of buying day passes to use facilities like pools, hot tubs, exercise equipment, or classes without necessarily paying for a spa treatment. So far I've found that the spa in the Omni Hotel offers $20 day passes for fitness facilities, but reviews are mixed. I'm hosting a group of out of town friends for a reunion/quasi-bachelorette party in late March, so this seems like...
